The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

karameta yubi de fureau futari no hoho ni maifuru awayuki
hanarete yuku kokoro sae yuki de kakushite ima wa kono mama de
futari ga aruita nemurenu ikusen no yoru mo
kizutsuku koto sae osorezu te wo tsunagi aeta ano hi
donna mirai ga machi uketa toshitemo
kimi no te dake wa hanasanai to kimeta hazu da ne
ai suru itami ga mune wo shimetsukete kimi sae kowashi hajimeru
utagau koto de jibun wo mamotte kita yowai boku
karameta yubi de fureau futari no hoho ni maifuru awayuki
hanarete yuku kokoro sae yuki de kakushite ima wa kono mama de
No one can escape from this way.
We repeated it over and over again.
But what made this situation different...
It'll be faster if you see it for yourself, right?

shizuka ni nemuru yokogao koe wo koroshite saigo no wakare wo

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
